Referring now to Fig. 1, system 100 provides the operation of branch level cluster for wireless communication system.System 100 comprises one or more cluster of base stations 120,124 (it is also referred to as node, evolved Node B-eNB, femto station, station or the like slightly), and cluster of base stations can be the entity that can communicate by wireless network 110 and second equipment 130 (or a plurality of equipment).Each cluster 124 that is called the cluster 120 of main cluster and is called nested cluster all comprises two or more co-operating base stations, and all the gathering or the set of base stations are called branch level cluster 128.It should be noted that terminology used here " cluster (cluster) " refers to one group of wireless module that wireless service is provided by cooperation.This can comprise the cooperation of base station and/or antenna.These antenna can be from single base station or from a plurality of stations/and cluster obtains between a plurality of stations.
Each equipment 130 (or subset of devices) can be access terminal (be also referred to as terminal, subscriber equipment, stand or mobile device).Cluster of base stations 120 or 124 sends to equipment 130 by down link 140, and receives data by up link 150.For up link and this appointment of down link is arbitrarily, because equipment 130 also can send data and receive data by uplink channel by down link.It should be noted, though show three assemblies 120,124 and 130, also can adopt the assembly more than three on network 110, these extra assemblies also go for wireless processing and the cluster operation described in the application.
Divide 128 controls of level cluster two-layer at least communication, it is illustrated as scheduling or upper-layer functionality 160 and high-speed data transfer 164.Generally speaking, main cluster 120 is responsible for scheduling feature 160 and is adopted one or more main cluster assemblies 170 to come operation dispatching.Need not to be concerned about scheduling and other problem, nested cluster 124 can be carried out high-speed data transfer 164 by one or more nest set group part 174.By distributing responsibility by this way between main cluster and nested cluster, network performance is improved.
Branch level cluster 128 provides the multistage cluster of wireless module, to help the more high performance service to subscriber equipment 130.In one aspect, provide the branch level layout to base station (or the base station equipment such as antenna), wherein, the top layer in level is safeguarded cooperation by station that is called main cluster 120 or assembly.Main cluster 120 is used to handle the systemic-function of higher level, for example scheduling to the subclass of selected user equipment 130 at 160 places.One or more nested clusters 124 submit to main cluster 120, and nested cluster 124 is carried out more direct or more high performance aspect, and for example the high-speed bidirectional data between subscriber equipment 130 and the nested cluster transmit 164.In this way will such as the high layer function the scheduling at 160 places and such as the data at 164 places transmit special function be divided into two functions, systematic function is improved.

Generally speaking, multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) technology (promptly using a plurality of transmission plans that transmit and receive antenna) has improved the user performance in the cellular system greatly.Traditionally, the MIMO technology limiting is in the antenna that adopts on the same cells website.Recently, paid close attention to again will get up from the aerial integration of different districts website therein to create the system of minizone mimo system.
In one aspect, provide and be used for aggregation cell (comprising) so that create the systematic method of cluster from the different districts website.In one example, cluster is one group of sub-district of realizing minizone MIMO by cooperation.Can realize using the secondary cluster scheme of the nested cluster 124 in main cluster 120 and this main cluster, but as previously mentioned, multistage cluster also is possible (for example, the nested cluster in other nested cluster).
Typically, all sub-districts in the network 110 all are divided in the main cluster 120.Thereby main cluster 120 is set of different districts in the network 110.Each main cluster 120 has its oneself scheduler, does not generally cooperate in the sub-district that therefore belongs to different main clusters.Nested cluster 124 is the subset of cells that belong to main cluster 120, and wherein, sub-district can be the member more than a nested cluster.When subscriber equipment 130 was dispatched by main cluster 120, it is nested cluster 124 for the user distributes, and this nested cluster will be this user's service during scheduling decision.Therefore, in order to realize the MIMO transmission of user k, share packet and the channel condition information (CSI) of user k all sub-districts of distributing in this nested cluster of user k.This on the back haul link that connects the different districts website, carry out to the sharing of data and CSI, the delay and the capacity of back haul link applied constraint.It should be noted that in this framework main cluster 120 is normally static, that is to say, in case carried out regulation then can not change usually.But it is dynamic that this of activation organized nested cluster 124, that is to say that they depend on the decision-making of scheduler, and changes on time and frequency or according to detected network parameter.
Typically, nested cluster 124 is made up of one to three sub-district, and this is to be difficult to remain on the constraint of the round-trip delay on all sub-districts in this nested cluster because the increase of the size of nested cluster can make.In addition, when the nested cluster service that is of a size of three, most of users can experience enough performances and improve.Main cluster 120 can be made up of a large amount of sub-districts usually, and this is to be in the possibility that also therefore can participate in the main cluster in the MIMO transmission because bigger main cluster increases user's main interference source.Bigger main cluster 120 also provides the stronger flexibility that is chosen in which user of scheduling on the resource for scheduler.Because for MIMO transmission, the user divided into groups to make all degrees of freedom all are fully utilized in the system, so this flexibility in the lighter system of load of great use.In the discussion of Fig. 2-4, provide the example of various minutes level cluster frameworks below.But, will be appreciated that the notion of the branch level cluster described in the application is not limited in these examples.
Also scheduling decision can be divided in a plurality of assemblies, wherein, some assemblies are carried out by main cluster, and some are undertaken by nested cluster.In one form, main cluster can be by making rough scheduling decision for the mode of different nested clusters user equipment allocation.Can in each nested cluster, make such as at the beam direction of particular UE, the meticulousr scheduling decision the packet format.
